On God's Likeness

4/8/2019

0 Comments

 
The body without the soul, says Father Nicholas, is called a corpse. And while we might able to live without God in our soul, it is not a real life at all. The Holy Fathers wrote that the image of God within us, is an indestructible blueprint. We can truly develop into this likeness if we seek God. 

​
Our passions are like the strings of a puppet. With them we are no longer able to do what we want to do, we are controlled instead by demons.
